NARAS unveils Lifetime honorees

The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences has announced six artists and three music industry pioneers as recipients of its 1992-93 Lifetime Achievement and Trustees Awards, which will be acknowledged during the telecast of the 35th annual Grammy Awards.

The Trustees awards, granted for outstanding contributions in a nonperforming capacity, will be given to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, blues songwriter/publisher W.C. Handy and jazz writer/producer George Simon.

Both awards are decided by vote of the Recording Academy’s national trustees. The Grammys will be telecast Feb. 24 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
